Star Wars Episode VII Discussion

Tom Cruise was in London recently and the rumor mill exploded that he would be contributing a cameo to J.J. Abrams‘ Star Wars Episode VII. Cruise famously gave Abrams his first break as a director, on Mission: Impossible III, and almost certainly would visit the director if he was in town. That’s one of those perks of being Tom Cruise. You get to visit the Star Wars set. But if he did visit the set, does that it mean he’s in the movie? Probably not, though anything is possible.

 

That may give you some relief DT85.

Various Star Wars stories hinted on the fact, that the Galactic Empire was unique in its nature. Even though there were Sith Empires in the past, and the Republic, which existed for 25 000 years... Still it was not the same state. It is possible, that the Galactic Empire was special because it was constructed upon the former Republic institutions (which were the opposite of what the Sith wanted to create) and it was based mostly on the Imperial idea (not the Sith philosophies). It was the absolute rule of the Dark Side and its incarnation - Palpatine aka Darth Sidious - which were much more than Sith Lords or any similar fraction.

 

What I mean, is that such a mechanism might have had a larger impact on the Galaxy, than we believe. It is notable, that the real-life Empires also had a large influence even on peoples and nations which existed centuries later, not to mention those, who lived just after the collapse. Roman Empire is one such example - it left a large legacy for many European countries, including legislation, languages, culture and much more. Another "empire" that of German Reich also had it impact - besides most obvious antihumane actions and wars, the tragedy caused the creation of the United Nations and development of a large quantity of legal institutions. Also many countries gained independence after 1945. While some are prosperous now, some others entered the era of disarray.

It is a rumour, but if true, Tom Cruise is likely to appear the way George Lucas is seen in Episode III - baron Papanoida in the background. Cruise might be an alien in the background or some kind of ganster in the background. Or a trooper, or Imperial officer standing not far from the main villain. =)

Theforce.net mentioned a large portion of spoilers on Star Wars, but I can't find them anywhere (some would say, that is for the best). But I am kind of a person, which after learning the whole plot never turns down watching a film.

 

Someone said, that most fans are discussing the possible appearance of Mara Jade, which is too iconic not to appear in the upcoming stories. Well, this might be just a wishful thinking. Some said, that there would a new mandalorian character in Episode VII.

It was a movie JJ Abrams directed when he was younger and he's making it into the new Star Wars Episode VII. So, yeah.

Just because he's directing the movie doesn't mean he's the screenplay writer or the only one involved.  Or that he is still stuck on the same old ideas as before.

To me it would seem rather far fetched if that is the way its going to go considering the Empire was only power for like 20 years. Even on a galactic scale that doesn't seem like enough time to screw up the entire galaxy.

 

It's only taken our US president less than 8 years to wreak chaos on our constitution and country... and with our spineless or corrupt politicians we may not recover. I'm betting he could more than ruin the galaxy if God gave him half-a-chance.

It is just a rumour and might prove to be false. The text you've quoted is actually of my origin, as an alternative to what the 'news' proposed.

 

Some more things mentioned:

Having seen a minor interview with Mark Hamill, where he talks about Episode VII experience.

You can watch it here.

It's notable for some comments on the new film, it's comparison to old movies and personal feelings. It's worth watching.

 

The other thing that attracts me here, is that Mark Hamill speaks and moves very much like a real old Jedi Master. Re reminds me of old Obi Wan Kenobi here (too bad Alec Guinness didn't live up to this day to see the further impact of his work in Star Wars).

Is it me or does Mark Hamill still look like a fat bastard? I thought they hired a personal trainer for him, no? I mean maybe he's lost 10 lbs-- but he needed to lose like 50 lbs or more. Maybe they should've hired him one of the trainers from "Biggest losers"

I guess for the part he plays won't matter too much - he is most likely to wear a long brown Jedi cloak, which will make it difficult to identify him even as just Luke Skywalker at first glance. He is old after all. Obi Wan Kenobi is also in different shape in Episode IV, as we might remember.

I don't think it was contractually obligated, I think it was more of a "I'll try and get skinnier on my own".

Having looked through one of the earlier screenshots, I noticed two of strange astromech droids there. They look like a droid from Episode IV, but now I wonder whether these are actually the next generation of astromech droids. Just like the new X-Wing starfighter.

If they have less round bodies, how can they fit into X-Wing or other ships?

Carrie & Mark were both told to lose weight, and Mark was also told to grow a beard. Luke will look more or less like my avatar, which is why I made it. :P

 

Btw, is that a dead Jawa sideways in the above pic?
